Descent
Description
Prepare To Start Your Descent.
Sensory overload in 360° 3-D.
Welcome to Descent™ - 27 levels of the most mind-bending, stomach-churning action game ever. Featuring true 3-Dimensional worlds with light source shading, texture mapping, 3-D morphing, directional sound effects and sizzling music, this is technology taken to the limit.
Something has happened at Lunar Base I. The Post-Terran Mining Company has lost contact with the miners and none of the mining robots are responding. The PTMC has brought in you the Material Defender to deal with the situation. Your mission is to find any survivors and find the source of threat. You will start a journey that takes you from the Moon to Pluto. Best of luck Material Defender.
Lunge straight down mine shafts, twist around never-ending tunnels and fight your way past robotic menaces in an environment that's truly 6 degrees of freedom... move up, move down, shoot everything everywhere. Hang onto your senses (and your lunch) as you drop straight down mine shafts on a ride that'll leave you spinning.
And what's the good of losing your mind if you can't share the experience with your friends? Descent invites you and your buddies to dive into the action together with head-to-head combat and cooperative two-player modem and eight-player network support.
Get ready for Descent...

This game is the best
For the many years this game has been out I have never tired of playing it. Sure the graffix are dated now, but the heart will always stay fun and pure to the hardcore gamer. I cannot endorse it enough.

Great early LAN game
The stand alone experience with Descent wasn't bad, but the true joy of the game came from playing against other humans on a LAN. There's nothing quite like talking smack to other players just before getting vaporized by some sneaky so-and-so who managed to creep up on your blind side. And with 360 degrees of movement, that blind side could come from above, below or behind you. Great game.

At long last...
Years ago, I discovered a Descent 2 demo. Being the kind of gamer I am, I experimented with it and progressivily got better each time. The problem was, the demo turned out to be not enough...I needed more of the fun experience and excitement it provided (like taking out those darn Thief Bots *shakes fist at them*). Years passed with no success...until now. Now not only can I enjoy what I was seeking all those years ago, but I can now play the first one of the series AND have extra downloadable content. Thank you so much, GOG! ^___^
